one issue is that trash people throw trash on the ground all the time whenever they want to.. so to fix this problem people can throw their trash in their homes and in trasges

mick B said...

they put soda cans on the road and they don t pick it up that is not good they by put a trashcans by the road so they can put it in there.

jordany l said...

One issue is that people are littering trash on the ground and it goes to the chesapeak bay

Abby Johnson said...

An issue that people in my community care about is keeping the environment clean. A possible solution for this problem is not littering. Littering happens when someone throws their trash on the ground instead of a trashcan. It hurts the environment when you litter because animals can get stuck in it, or eat it and die. Also, when a person litters, the trash can go down into a bay or river and pollute the waters.

Chris Smith said...

One issue people in my community care about is keeping the environment clean. A possible solution for this issue is not littering. When you litter you are throwing trash on the gorund that eventually pollutes the tributaries around us and littering can also kill organisms.

zachery pridgen said...

one issue is that people justs throw trash on the ground and people never pick it up. we can fix this by picking up trash when you see it and put it in a trash can

kyle H said...

one issue is that people throw trash on the ground and they don't pick it up

steven m said...

I can pick up trash around the neighborhood and i can recycle and clean the yards

Tristane said...

the problem is that people ride by and they throw beer cans and trash in my yard. and i can't do anything to stop it.

Jenna T said...

One issue people in my community care about is runoff. An example is when chicken manure runs into the suage and then that goes into the chesepeake bay then into the ocean. One way we could fix this is if we keep the chicken manure in the fields and keep it away from suage drains.

Tyler n said...

The issue is fire.I live by farms and
if a fire starts all the crops will
be killed.I can stop this by keeping
flammable items and fire away from
farms.

ryanm said...

One issue is that people throw thrash on the ground.we can fix this by picking up thrash when we see it

Nicole C said...

One problem people in my community is population. There are these boys who ride their 4-Wheelers all around in the woods. They ride over animal habitats and the animals need to find some where else to live. It is sad them animals homes are destroyed.

Angel P said...

One issue is the trash being everywhere. People throwing their trash on the ground anywhere and when ever they want. Its just not good for the environment. The people after us will be affected by the trash. And the trash people throw on the ground it goes right to the Chesapeake Bay, that's really not cool for the ocean.

kayleigh j said...

a disaster in my community is people don't throw there soda cans and chip bags in the trash also they dump stuff in the river and then when there are floods that nasty water goes every were.we can stop this by not throwing trash on the ground when theirs a trash can right beside you also we can get more people to street patrol also when you have a lot of trash don't put it in the river take it to the dump.

Hannah R said...

Our issue is that people in the enviorment care about keeping the sidewalks clean. People take there dos for walks and dont clean up after them. They also dont pick up their trash. If people would put trash in trash cans and clean up after their dogs our enviorment wouldn't have many problems left.

Alexis P. said...

A problem in my community is that people litter and it gets in people's backyard.

Brandon G said...

One issue is that people throw trash in the sewage drains and on the side of the road.A solution to this problem could be have a metal trashcan on the begining of every street.And with the sewage drains put a blocker on it and put holes it it about an half inch circle.

Josh C said...

In my community we care about how it looks. In our community its clean and not trashy.Our community takes care of their houses and their yard.None of the yards are really trashy.If we keep doing this we will have a good community.

Ray B said...

My community is worried about the trees because when their is a thunder storm some trees fall down

Devin.w said...

litter is a pollution issue because all of this litter is washing into the ocean. That is making all of the fish in the ocean die because all of the trash.

Julia Griffiths said...

An issue is that lots of people are littering and all that litter is going into the ocean and causing horrible palution

Cheyanne Russell said...

Chemicals and pesticides that are sprayed on fields and lawns that leak into the water table and into the bay. So use organic/less chemicals and pesticides. The cancer rate on the Eastern shore is way above average. I think the chemicals and pesticides are the reason why the cancer rate is above normal.

Brockman H said...

One issue is the increased population on the Eastern Shore. A population increase means that farms are sold for houses. This means the agriculture decreases. With more houses comes more resources used and more pollution as discussed in class.

akira c said...

1. Some people have bad water in their house. 2. old houses that need to be rebulid.3. need a new playground for the kids.

Brooke P said...

People throw trash on the street without thinking.From this it ends up in sewer drains and goes to the ocean.From there it could make The Great Pacific Garbage Patch even bigger than it is. A way we can fix this is to make trash cans more conveniently placed throughout neighborhoods. We could place a strainer on the sewage drains so only rain water can get through then someone can pick up the trash collected every week

Zach B said...

One problem in my community is that people litter in the Marshyhope River. When I fish some times I'll fish out paper bags. My Dad says that this is a real issue.

mallory m said...

One issue is that trash is thrown on the ground and not in the garbage can. People could put trash in recycling bins or in their trash can.

Shania G said...

one issue is that people just throw trash on the ground when they are done with it. My neighbors yard is full of trash and it can kill frogs and small animals.

jommisha said...

Jonnisha D one issue People need stop throwing things on the floor like trash.

kylec said...

One issue is that people just throw objects or trash anywhere which that is called littering.We can stop this by having the people pay lots of money for a fine.So then they won't do it again

Ariel L. said...

People in my community we care about littering. So we could help by not littering. Instead we could through it away in a trash can at our houses or a recycle bins.

Kayla P. said...

For pollution people can stop littering so much because people think oh what will one piece of trash do but one piece of trash adds up and makes a lot and even if you throw trash on the ground it finds its way to the ocean from the wind and everything.For resource use if people litter the trash and other things can not be recycled

Katelyn M. said...

Trash is everywhere!On the street,in the water,everywhere,it's disgusting. All this pollution is unacceptable. Everyone cares about the Earth,we depend on each other to keep it clean. Everyone should recycle so the ocean will be more clean(and other places)and less gross.

Logan P. said...

The people in my community care about the trash that lays on the ground.The trash gets washed away and pollutes the environment .I asked one of my neighbors and he said that we could add barriers to stop the trash from flowing into the ocean.We could also add a dump so people have somewhere close to throw away there trash.

Jonathan K said...

One issue is that people throw trash everywhere on the road, in the fields, and in the Choptank River. We can solve this issue by putting more spots to recycle tash

Cloderson C. said...

A problem we have is littering one way we could fix it we could add little trash cans so when people have trash they throw it away

gabe p said...

people in my community throw cigeret buds on the ground when they want. one way to fix this is that people could throw their cigerets in the trash can after they make sure they are out

Devery said...

One environmental issue is plastic,
plastic is often washed into the ocean where birds often mistake it for food. When birds feed plastic to their young the young will get poisoned and will often die.

kyle b said...

One issue is that people leaves trash every day like cans. Those people who do that are called litters. they like to litter a lot . how i can help mt community is by picking up all the trash off the ground and recycle.The problem as to many people were littering.

joe m said...

People in our neighborhood have been throwing their trash all over the place so one way to fix this problem is to tell them to throw their trash in the trash can.

Ryan H pd3 said...

I think people of my community think pollution is an issue, we should care about. The trash goes into the bay and it creates global warming. this makes our community pretty much a trash ball. we should fix it by doing a trash clean up. and less trash will go in the bay.

Jessica said...

When people go to the beach they don't throw there trash away so it gets blown in the ocean and the animals in the ocean mistake it for food and they eat it and it kills them.

calvint said...

one issue is that people are throwing trash in the woods so the trash will go in the ponds and streams. I think that people should get a recycling bin or you the one at stores as long as you do not litter.

sierra w said...

One issue is the trash they through it around like it is a big garbage can.To fix this issue if they are in a house they need to through it in there trash can. If they are in a car then the need to hold on to it until they get home to put it in there trash can.

Elijah Cephs said...

One issue is pollution. people will through trash on the ground and leave it there and don't care and i think we need to put a stop it.

Julianna P said...

They are throwing trash on the ground and it goes in the ocean. and the throw it when ever they want to.

Taylor D said...

an issue about this is people are taking their trash when they are done with it and just throwing it on the ground and is causing that trash to go in the water and having animals thinking its a jellyfish and they eat it and causes problems in their life.also animals in the water animals could get stuck in a bag and die.

Takaira C said...

one of my community is trash people throw trash on the ground and just leave there and dont care. to fix this problem people can start picking up the trash.

Brent D. said...

One issue in my community is pollution. So many people just throw trash on the ground or when farmers spray on the ground and hurts many plants. We can fix this by picking up trash along the road once a week and using environmental sprays

Arthur Merritt said...

An environmental issue that we have in our community is that our community is not clean.We can solve this problem by not littering.Another possible way is trying to clean up the litter in the community.

Brandon S said...

Pollution is one environmental issue my family cares about in our environment. People throw trash in our ditch from the highway because they are to lazy to get out of their comfort zone and throw their trash away properly.

michelle m said...

the one thing people care about is the trash that is polluting the world.to stop this problem we can get a team together to help go around and pick up trash they see on the ground and recycle it.

Brooke.m. said...

When people drive by they through there trash out there window and it ends up in every ones yard.To solve this problem people should maybe have a little trashcan in there vehicles or wait until they get home and through away what ever it is.

Nate M. said...

One issue my community has is that several people litter, making the world [the town of Preston]one big trashcan.I think they [the town] could establish stricter littering laws and moniter the streets on the cameras they have.

EricJ said...

Polluting is bad because if the trash stays there eventually it will end up in the Chesapeake Bay and it won't be good.

Juwan H said...

In my neighborhood we have alot of trees with berries on them that gets on the sidewalks. We could have people come and clean the sidewalks every night or trim the trees once a week.

Jasmine.G said...

one issue I have seen is trash all over the place I think we need county clean up days.

Brandon S. said...

Pollution is one environmental issue in my community. People throw trash in my ditch because they are to lazy to get out of their comfort zone to throw trash away properly.One way to solve this problem is to put signs out saying pollution free zone to stop people from polluting.

Brandon S. said...

When it rains the streets flood. To fix this problem, someone would have to clean out the sewers.

Kayla A said...

In my neighborhood there is litter from the people who are to lazy to throw trash away the right way first. people could help the environment by picking up the beer bottles and plastic bags.

Tyler Stanton said...

One issue is that people while they are driving throw there trash in the road. To fix this problem we can make the people that are caught throwing it away they have to pick it up and throw it into a dumpster

Ryleek Acree said...

I see trash on Ocean City sometimes.
We can fix this by picking it up and
throw it away or put it in recycling
bin.

MorganL said...

My mom thinks that the environmental issue in our fields is chemicals that they are spraying. We need eco-friendly pesticides.

dannicha viau said...

one issue is that trash people throw trash on the ground all the time whenever they want .

Camryn p Period 8 said...

On my yard there are lots and lots of trash. Me and my mom says that we should start picking up the trash so that if it rains and all the water flows down it will not pick up the trash and take it to the ocean. so that the animals will survive and it will not hurt the food web and the food chain.

Keyshawn G. said...

one issue is when you are driving and when people are trash on the ground and that is one issue. The next issue is your parents tell you to throw something in the dumpers and you just throw it own the ground or sewer.

Savanna W pd 9 said...

one issue is litter on the side of the rode it is an issue because when it rains the run of water carrys the trash to the chesapeake bay and that causes polution in the water an that makes it bad for the fish an other speicies in the ocean also the cemicals that the farmers spray on the feilds to make there crops grow . when it rains the cemicals an run off water carry those cemicals into the cheseapeake bay an cause the fish to get sick and when people eat the fish they get sick an people around them get sick .those are two problems in my communite.

Matthew W said...

One issue is pollution in the Chesapeake Bay.One reason it is a issue because it kills living organisms in the bay.This affects fisherman and crabbers and waterman who earn their money from the fish and seafood in the bay.Pollution in the bay affects the food supply.

EricJ said...

morgan w said...

annie b said...

The Cheaskapeak Bay is the issues beacuse pollutions,nutrients.The field run off goes into the Bay.A solution could be that farmers can use less ferilizer with the crops because the extra ferilizer can run off in the Bay and it can hurt the population of the animals in the Bay.

tabitha bednar said...

My mom thinks we should go out and pick up trash around our yard every morning and that is what I did this morning before I got on the bus. If everyone all over the world do this the environment WILL BE CLEANER!!!

Brianna Pilley said...

The #1 problem in my community is pollution because I see it everywhere. It was in the pond behind our school that we visited on thursday and it was on the ground on the path we walked on. I have to admit that trash is in almost every environment and community in the world.

Vijah M. said...

Lucas C. said...

My mother thinks all of the tractors and tractor-trailers put off to much pollution. We could stop the pollution by making tractors and tractor-trailers that don't put off so many phumes

Courtney M said...

People care that the community is clean. A way to keep the community clean is by not littering and if someone does litter you can clean it up.

Briyana b said...

A issue that i have in my community is people litter alot and where ever the trash is it is gonna go into the water and harm the creatures that live in the water. A way that we could solve that problem is to put trash cans around so they can put it in the trash can.

littering is a problem in my community. people just through trash every where and don't care. if people just had a little courtesy and through the trash away the environment wold be much cleaner. people don't realize that there is so much pollution in the water from run off.

Kelly.R (4) said...

I know that the streets have trash from some people not keeping it in their car, trash bag or somewhere that it would not come out in to the streets or blow into citizen's yards. Also people put their trash in the water. ALL TRASH THAT GOES INTO THE WATER SOME HOW GOES INTO THE RIVERS AND THEN THE BAY. People keep throwing their trash and they will not stop.

tiarahm said... pd4 said...

An issue my community has is littering. we need to pitch in and help pick the trash up.

Cheyanne C said...

Well trash is a big big issue and we need to help our community and ask more people to start recical and help us to think of ways to help

Mason Q said...

One of the issues in my community are that many people are burning things that they are not suppose to and it is letting harmful things into the air and when it goes up it must come down.So when it does we breath it and animals breath it and it is not good for our bodies.Also farmers are planting so many plants and when it dosent rain all those plants are going to waiste.Then that is just money that we could be using for something else.Many people are littering instead of recycling and it is hurting the enviroment.We can fix is by starting recycling clubs or putting garbage cans and recycling bins all around so that people can just put it in there.

Briana K said...

One issue that i have in my neiborhood is the men that is always on the corner of our house they are always loud and we cant go outside because of them.

william ronald w said...

a issue my community is the trash one time i walked to the park an there were can goods all over the road

JayshaunW said...

A issue in my community is that people just throw trash out in other peoples yard all the time.So to stop this problem we can put recycling bins near our houses so they won't litter no more.

william nathaniel w said...

An issue in our community that people care about is gas and they need gas to drive but gas is an conflict to our community because it hurts our trees and plants.

Jeanette Banko said...

In my neighborhood, there is much litter on the ground. This could be easily fixed by people keeping the trash in their cars instead of throwing it out the window, or the town could place dumpsters on the end of the street, but only as a second choice. Dumpsters aren't very attractive.Also, people driving could slow down a bit. They go way too fast.

Josh G. said...

My mom thinks that it is an issue in our community is the population of cats. There are multiple families of wild cats in my neighborhood. The cats don't have owners and haven't been "fixed" and so it's unlikely anyone will take them.

andrewl. said...

almost every time i go hunting i see trash everywhere some times i see trash an my lawn and rode sides people need to stop littering

Robert Thompson said...

One issue is that most people smoke and they just throw there cigarets on the ground and also people just walk by houses and throw trash in peoples lawn.

Cody C said...

Our problem is we have a lot of people who smoke and they throw cigars and other things on the ground so we have a seldom number of people that try to help clean it up.

Kennett VR said...

My community says that littering is a big problem in our community.A lot of people,while riding in their cars throw trash on mine and neighbors lawns.Me and my neighbors pick up the trash but it keeps coming.They even threw a half eaten cheeseburger!):

Kathryn F. said...

The issue in my community is littering.Me and my friends go and pick up the trash on weekends

Chandler w said...

farm runoff causes soil to go into rivers then into the chesapeak bay and the soil can have a chemical in it and it can kill the wild life.


vehicle admition pollutes when they come out of the tale pipe because the oil and gess mix and thats not good for the envirement.

Cheyanne Carter said...

The main issue is people throwing trash people need more help on talking about helping the invirment

Tara G said...

The problem in my community is that the people that live around me don't keep the environment clean. I always have to pick up trash that is thrown on the road or the trash that is thrown in my yard. So, I think that I should get together with some of my neighbors and tell them that we need to start keeping our trash out of yards and to stop throwing it in the road,so we can have a clean and healthy environment.

Carson D said...

A issue in my community is that trash is around.The trash is bad since it's so close to the water.It will get in their causing creatures in the water to suffer.

Cole Patrick said...

One issue is that people are littering and hurting the earth.

karon raikes said...

one issue is people don't recycle they just throw trash anywhere and don't care about the anvironment

Jaxson H said...

My community issue is that people don't care what happens to their litter when they should when they throw it out it goes straight to the bay killing the wildlife.

celebrityE said...

MY community issue is recycling because not enough people recycle. It is also a community issue because people are saying they see litter all over the street. People are also saying the see litter in nearby waters and that is hurting they community

Zoe Hill said...

One of my community issues is trash. When people throw trash it ends up in crop feilds or where cattle is. If the cattle eats it. The animal will get sick.

emma p.! said...

A couple of issues in my community is there are narrow streets line poles in the middle of the roads almost not many friendly nieghboors and you never no who is going to pull over because the narrow roads
To fix some of these problems you can get underground line poles (they have done this once on our road) and the right away does not have topull over

skyler w said...

some community issues are pot holes it is to mane messed up streets in the town of Federalsburg

stephanie s said...

One issue is that people through trash on the rood and do not pick it up.And people do not care about the earth an what the earth looks like.

hunter h said...

HIIIIIIIIIII i dont like how people throw trash on the side of the road. what we can doooooooooooooooo is we can get a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig trash bag and clean up the trash!!!!!!! if you want to say yesssssssssssssssss

BrianaK said...

One issue i have in my community is these men that are always on the corner of our street doing stuff so we cant go out side because of them.

MatthewO said...

We waste a lot of water in my community. We brush our teeth and leave the water on. A solution is to turn the water off and when your mother calls you to do something.
Another environmental issue in our community is litter. One is for people to pick up litter when they see it and recycle it or throw it away.

Kaylie Moore said...

People put trash on the road and leave it there, which eventually ends up in an ocean. One way we can help is to reuse anything we can such as plastic bags, water bottles,etc. Anything we cant reuse we should throw away in a trash can, not on the road.

madolyne goodger said...

my mom and my dad said that an environmental issue in our community is pollution. people litter in the dishes so if they decided to through
there trash in the trash can then our community would be much cleaner.

Russell H pd3 said...

one issue i have in my environment is that a lot of people are throwing alot of litter out in the roads and the ditches and it is killing the environvent.
